Richland County's Code of Ordinances contains no general countywide park-curfew ordinance. Public parks are operated by the separate Richland County Recreation Commission, a special-purpose district maintaining about 41 sites, which sets site-specific hours; individual parks close after posted hours. Cities like Columbia set park rules for their own parks.
A review of the Richland County Code shows chapters covering amusements, offenses, planning and utilities, but no parks-and-recreation chapter and no general park-curfew section. County parks are instead run by the Richland County Recreation Commission, an independent special-purpose district that maintains roughly 41 recreation sites and sets operating hours and rules on a facility-by-facility basis. Visitors should follow the hours and rules posted at each park. Municipal parks inside Columbia, Forest Acres, or Blythewood are governed by that city's parks ordinance. We found no verbatim county curfew rule to quote.
Because there is no countywide curfew ordinance, after-hours presence in a county park is handled under the Recreation Commission's posted rules and general trespass law rather than a specific county code fine.
